Collecting Cleveland Indians Topps team sets from 1952-present, as well as post-war minor and major league autographs.
From the Field: JC Allen, if, UC San Diego Baseball … UC San Diego infielder JC Allen had a very nice series this weekend in Hawaii. He went 4-13 with 2 HR and six RBI. It was a continuation of what ended up being a fantastic season, hitting .304 with[…]
New Arrival: Tim Herrin, p, Cleveland Guardians … Getting autographs of guys like Cleveland’s Tim Herrin can be more difficult than you might think. He was a 29th-round pick in 2018, so he was not immediately a top prospect. He was a solid relief pitcher in the minors, and by[…]
New Arrival: Kolby Allard, p, Cleveland Guardians … Kolby Allard signed a minor league contract with the Cleveland Guardians this past February. Allard was not great in 2024. He bounced between the Phillies and their AAA club, and pitched to a roughly 5.00 ERA at both stops. Rough. But Cleveland[…]
New Arrival: Angel Genao, if, Cleveland Guardians … Angel Genao is one of Cleveland’s top prospects and routinely shows up on any list of the top 75 prospects in the game. Last season, the 20-year-old hit .330/.379/.499 between low and high-A, with 10 HR and 25 stolen bases. Solid numbers.[…]
From the Field: Laif Palmer, p, Oregon State Baseball … Oregon State pitcher Laif Palmer is having…quite a season. While he has not pitched a ton of innings, when he has pitched, it’s been something else. Over 21.1 innings, he has only allowed 10 hits and struck out 16. Good[…]
Oregon State coming to Hawaii was exciting, and I had a long list of players I was excited to get. But at the top of that list was pitcher Dax Whitney. Whitney is having a fantastic freshman season, striking out 72 in only 49.1 innings and a .245 opponent batting[…]
New Arrival: Phil Marchildon, sp, Philadelphia Athletics … In 1947 Phil Marchildon won 19 games for the Philadelphia Athletics. A 19-win season is nothing to sneeze at, even if he had to grind out 276 innings to get there. It is extra impressive when you remember that wins never came[…]
From the Field: Jake Entrekin, c, Point Loma University … I am a huge fan of D2 baseball, and think it’s always great to see a D2 guy make it to the professional ranks. But it’s sometimes tough to tell who they are when their teams come through, since D2[…]
From the Field: AJ Singer, if, Oregon State Baseball … Oregon State middle infielder AJ Singer is having a very nice season. Last night against Hawaii, he went 1-3 with 3 RBI, helping the Beavers take the first game against the Rainbow Warriors 11-4. It was more of what he[…]
Oregon State is a good team–one of the top 10 in the nation–and is packed with offensive talent. When looking over the roster, the player I was most excited to get this weekend was junior OF Easton Talt, who is having an amazing season. He leads the team with an[…]
